My favourite singer ever. David Crosby's autobiography is simply breathtaking. This guy's lived life to the max. Good thing he's still with us.

That one's a sure winner. Could've used more road stories though.

Great, thanks everybody, for all the information thus far.

So there is a website for prog-books. I didn't know that. Speaking of Ed Macan (Threefates did, thanks!): I love his book Rocking The Classics, about the origins of progrock and the description of the early progressive "counterculture".

Well supposedly he has 17 chapters (over 1200 pages) on ELP.  Even I couldn't write that much about them!!   So I can't wait to see it published!
THIS IS ELP

Me too! I love the way he wrote about ELP in Rocking The Classics.

But have you tried "The Negative Dialectics Of Poodle Play" - now that's heavy .

By the way, has anyone here read Ian McLagan's book "All The Rage"? I've heard it's supposed to be an excellent read.

I caught a contact high from reading DCrosby's book, "Long Time Gone". 
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

Theres a great book about the Nice out there, unfortunately all the way through the author felt he had to to take endless digs at ELP. He seems never to have forgiven Emerson for leaving the Nice to go to ELP.

 

ps. i w

ent to see Emerson and the Nice in Glasgow in 2002 and 2003 and they were brilliant.
